Abstract
The Impressed Ware culture coincides with the Early Neolithic period during the Atlantic phase of the Holocene that began around 7500 b.p. Considered a climatic optimum, it was a warmer and wetter period than the preceeding Boreal. The region is characterized by warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters.
